'Palestinian Authority' and other Arab Muslims mourn Samir al-Kuntar

Greetings from London Heathrow where I can once again thank the Histadrut - Israel's General Labor Federation, which succeeded early this morning in extorting a 7.5% raise from Israel's hapless government - for messing up my travel plans. There was supposed to be a general strike at 6:00 am, and as a result I ended up on a different flight here than I had planned. Unfortunately, when the airline switched the flight, my reserved seat for the next flight was automatically canceled. Although I am on that flight, I now have what may be the worst seat on the plane (and there's WiFi access, but if I can't open the computer, I can't post). So if there are no posts for the rest of the day, you should all spit in the air and say "בשביל זה יש הסתדרות" ("for this the Histadrut exists").

The tweet at the top of this post shows 'Palestinians' from the 'Palestinian Authority' mourning the death of child murdering terrorist Samir al-Kuntar, who met his maker and got his 72 cows on Saturday. You will note that they are not all Muslims either....

So why does Kuntar matter? Because he's an inspiration to the 'Palestinians.'

About Me

I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004.
